docker: Error response from daemon: error evaluating symlinks from mount source "/run/desktop/mnt/host/m/cargo": not a directory.

Hi dear people,

today I'm using a new Windows PC and for the first time the cargo root dir is not in "C:\.cargo" but in "M:\cargo".

When I launch the same commands of the other PC (with cargo in C:) cross errors with:

cross build --target-dir ./target --release --workspace --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
error: DEPRECATED: future versions of rustup will require --force-non-host to install a non-host toolchain.

warning: If you meant to build software to target that platform, perhaps try `rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` instead?

But the directory exists!

Can you suggest a way to fix, please?

I don't know how to solve this, it's very much a docker desktop for windows issue though. Tried finding something about it online but was not able.

First thing you could try is to use cross from the main branch cargo install cross --git https://github.com/cross-rs/cross, but I doubt that would fix it.

It does'nt work either.
